Protect Revenue from Stock Leakage, Trade-In Fraud, and Internal Theft

Retail

Recipero helps retailers detect and prevent device-related fraud, stop stock going missing, and validate trade-in stock before it enters the resale chain. Whether you're managing high street stores, online platforms, or bulk buyback programmes, our tools provide real-time intelligence where you need it most.

Who We Help

From nationwide telecoms providers to specialist resale stores and online marketplaces, Recipero works with:

  • In-store retail managers and operations leads

  • Buy-back and trade-in programme coordinators

  • Online and high street resale platforms

  • Fraud, loss prevention, and compliance teams

  • Marketplace quality and customer service leads

The Challenge

Retailers handling high-value tech face a perfect storm: tight margins, rising employee theft, trade-in fraud, and customer claims of lost shipments. Without clear visibility of device legitimacy, legal title, or chain of custody, you risk:

  • Buying or reselling stolen or blocked devices

  • Accepting trade-ins with outstanding finance or insurance claims

  • Losing stock through internal shrinkage or in-transit fraud

  • Damaging brand trust through disputes, refunds, and penalties

  • Missed recovery opportunities after stock loss

Our Solution

Recipero’s retail solutions combine StatusCheck and AssetWatch to give you full confidence in the devices you buy, sell, and move.

Validate Every Trade-In
StatusCheck confirms the legitimacy of every device, with insight from police, insurers, carriers, and previous resale history. You’ll know if:

  • The device is stolen, lost, or blocked

  • It’s subject to insurance, lease, or finance

  • It has been previously traded or resold

  • Ownership can be verified

Protect In-Store and In-Transit Stock
AssetWatch tracks devices you own until they’re sold or disposed of. If a device is offered for resale without permission—whether stolen by an employee, customer, or fraudster—you’ll receive an alert and the sale is blocked.

Powerful Yet Simple Deployment
Retailers can check devices individually, in bulk, or via automated integrations with point-of-sale, inventory, or eCommerce systems.

Key Capabilities

  • Protect assets in transit: Mitigate fraud and loss while items move through third-party carriers or internal logistics.

  • Detect internal and external theft: Alerts trigger when devices are offered for trade, helping pinpoint employee or organised activity.

  • Deter device laundering: Flags items before they’re resold, reducing the incentive to steal or misreport.

  • Recover and repatriate stock: Flagged items become visible to police and marketplaces—improving recovery outcomes.

  • Lightweight, privacy-respecting deployment: We only need serial numbers—no personal data. Integration is fast and scalable.
